Acrilex Announces Acriglas® Combinations Series Brand Identity Design Contest

Contest Combines talents of industry designers with leading acrylic company

Acrilex, Inc., a leading producer and distributor of high-end custom-colored acrylics, announces its Acriglas Combinations Series Brand Identity Design Contest. Acrilex is calling all retail display designers to design a retail display or fixture fabricated from the Combinations series, the latest line of laminated acrylic sheets from the company. Participants will create a display or fixture specifically for a fictional (or actual) client in any of the following categories: consumer electronic (ie; cell phone, computers, music player), cosmetic, or sneaker (or other apparel) manufacturer while drawing upon inspiration from the prospective client’s brand identity and combining it with the unique properties the new Combinations series offers. A winning creation will enhance the image of the brand, showcase the creativity of the designer, and demonstrate the benefits of the Acriglas Combinations.

All participants must create and submit a rendering of their design as well as have the capabilities to build a prototype of the actual fixture. Acrilex will select displays or fixtures from the submissions and will provide materials, free of charge, to the companies whose designs have been chosen to build their concepts. Winners will be selected from each of the above categories based on the their proposed concept. Winning designers will have their talents and creations showcased in industry trade publications, and will be honored and displayed at Acrilex's booth at this year’s GlobalShop tradeshow. The employers of the winning designers will also honored and receive publicity for their design and fabrication contributions. Honorable mentions will also be publicized for runners up. And finally, winners may also be featured on the Acrilex website as an additional reward for their participation in the contest.

All interested designers should contact Dan Rustin a 1-800-222-4680, or via email at drustin@acrilex.com for additional contest participation details. Deadline for all submissions is December 16, 2009.
